Q: Regarding MacKeeper

You may have seen Mackeeper advertised to clean your Mac. Do not install it. I will tell you, with confirmation from 2 programs, it is malware/adware. If you want to clean your Mac install Sophos Anti-Virus and/or Malware-Bytes Anti-Malware. Mac keeper is a giant scam. It also falsely identifies threats, and spams you with ads. Do not install it.

    Ben,

     

    I almost completely agree with your observation...except that Malwarebytes Anti-Malware For Mac is the only useful one of those you have identified "If you want to clean your Mac." It will not however prevent you from harming you from yourself.
